What's Popping!

Brian Babylon

One of my favorite summer rituals has definitely been going to the annual "Bronzeville Comedy Showcase" which returns for it's sixth year tonight. The showcase has moved to a new plush fine art gallery location (The Blanc Gallery) and is presented by FM radio station Vocalo 89.5. As always, BCS is hosted by local comedian Brian Babylon. Babylon is also Vocalo Radio's (89.5 FM) Morning AMp co-host, a panelist on NPR's: Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me!, the producer and founder of BCS, and really, it's heart and soul. Babylon had this to say about the newly formatted showcase

"I have been doing this show for six years now, and it’s always one of the best places to see comedy, we decided to move the show to a bigger venue to accommodate the large crowd that has made this the best summertime comedy showcase. The Blanc gallery is a swanky art space with a large outdoor area that will take this comedy show to the next level. This is gearing up to be the best summer to date."

Joe Kilgallon has been on fire lately, fresh off his hour long special, he's been headlining shows all over the country. Catch him locally this weekend before his head is too big to fit through the door.
